Sorry if i am asking to much but i want the best with at least 7 day EPG and be able to set reminders on box to turn over when progamme is about to start. Oh and HDMI connection.
    Thank you in advance

    First have you got a satellite dish setup? Second an internet feed can be used to update EPG, plugins, software update etc... Its can also be used for other purposes that we dont discuss here.

    its just an internet connection ... ive even tested it with 3g and works great ... obviously if you are going to be doing streaming then you will need a reasonable speed etc but just for watching tv then an internet connection should do perfectly
